IdalO'S Heroine.
HER NAME IS THERESA TALLERT,
AND SHE Is DEATH TO
MOUNTAIN LIONS.

A year ago wonderful story of
the gallant fight Of Theresa Tallert
with mountain lions, while defend
ing her flock Of Angora goats on
the Little Lost river, was clrcnlat-
cd far and wide in America and
even French papers. The story
set forth how, late one evening IN
her cabin in the foothills of Eastern
Idaho, she was awakened by ami
mails racing around IN the stOckade
adjoining; how she arose, and with
hand axe and her dog Badger,
she stole ont in the moonlight to
find the lions in pursuit of her
goats how, nothing daunted, she
attacked them and cut one to the
bone with her axe, injured others,
and caused the whole, some six in
all. to flee over the stOckade wall.
But the next morning the brave
girl discovered that the thrOats of
many of the herd had been cut, for
ffty of them lay dead on the
ground.
"Well, our girls been making
another record said A. j. Bruner,
of Houston, Idaho, "and she got
in her work in fine style-the usual
way with her. She never lets up
on a job until it's completed arts.
tically."
"What's the matter now Z"
Had another fight with noun
tain lions. You see, a year ago,
after Theresa's fight with them, 0.
b. Hawley and other ralsers OF
Angora goats-those who had suf-
fered losses-put their heads to-
geth and organized a posse to kill
them of. They killed great many
and pretty well cleaned them out,
it was thought. For some months
thereafter there were very few OF
them seen around, and these were
very wary. Lately, however, the
lions have come 10 the front. The
foot hills have seemed to be swarm
ing with them. They again invad'
ed the stockades and sucked the
blood OF the goats whose throats
they cut. Miss Tallert, who had
lost some more of her flock, and
knew that the lions came around
there quite often at night, got q
couple of Winchesters and loaded
them with buckshot few nights
ago. Then she dug out the chink
ing between the logs on the side o.
her cabin next to the stockade, ant
at this portfolio she took up hel
station. Well, IN five nights il
this way she killed thirteen noun
tain lions, and she says she is no
through with them yet. Her hero
of goats comprises some five hun
dred IN all, and perhaps thirty ol
ffty of these have been killed II
the last month or two."
Miss Tallert is a German CIR
who has been ranching on the Lit
tie Lost river for three or four years

AngOra goats, and she got he

a swill.cart which she pushes by

and the spectacle is depressing. l
sit me down and reason: She has
hogs or she would not gather swill.
As soon as the hogs are fattened
they aill be killed, and the cart will
pass my door no more. The more
swill the sooner dogs, cart and wo-
man disappear. Therefore l will
buy corn and give her at least
peck each day.

about my pemises on several Occa-
siOns. The idea is strong in NY

chance to steal my garden hose and
reel. have 200 feet of hose and a
new reel, and the loss would be
considerable. |, therefore, reason
l will leave an old section OF hose
where he can steal 1t. He has an
idea that / suspect him. While he
will congratulate himself on get
ting away with the old hose, he
will be too fly to return for anything
more, and l shall save all my new
hose.
There is a confirmed old sOt who
has long bothered me for a daily
loan of five cents. | know he uses
the money to buy whisky, and l
know that all the temperance sOcie
ties in the world couldn't reform
him. /, therefore, reason; 1t is
simply a question of time when
whisky will kill this old nuisance.
Two drinks per day will finish him
much faster than one drink. There.
fore will increase the loan to ten
cents.
know of a man who curses and
abuses his wife and makes his
home a hell for her. She will stand
this conduct to certain limit. |
reason She will be welcomed home
by father and mother, and she will
have the sympathy and respect of
all her friends. She is simply wait
ing for the last straw. She has
much to gain and nothing to lose
by leaving this brute, Therefore,
tonight l will invite him to drink.
Drink will aggrayate him and he
will probably box her ears and
bring on the climax.

dog, or he wouldn't keep him. Hav-

unkindly of me to suggest the death

CHICAGO, August "a special from Camp
Lake, Wis, says: Unless the prevailing
drought comes to very speedy end, the in
dications are that q very considerable por-
ton of southern Wisconsin will be little
The present dry spell has eclipsed anything
in the recollection of the proverbial oldest
settler, and brush and prairie fires are re-
ported from score of directions. Every bit
of moisture and sap has been burnt off
ton, and the earth is so dry that the roots of
the stubble in recently moved fields are
burning over hundreds upon hundreds of
acres. It is reported that unless there is a
let up in the dry weather the Illinois Central
will take off trains, as the water supply
OF their engines is getting very low.
Artesian wells make it easier for the
other roads out of Chicago. A new indus
try has sprung up in the neighborhood of
Montrose, on the Northwestern road. The
artesian well there is pouring out its water
in an undiminished stream and parties have
rugged up portable tank containing
600 gallons. They fill this at
the well in about four minutes
and sell the tank full to the
owners of wells in the neighborhood which
have gone dry, at s. per thankful. Scores
OF wells fed by springs have gone dry and
the farmers in many instances are COM
PEELED to 60 miles to the lakes for water for
household purposes. Cattle are suffering
terribly and the milk supply has been re-
ducod to q minimum.

A st. JOSEPH No., Young Lady 1Glssfng-
No Glue to Her Whereabou1v-

"A 81 Joseph No., Young Lady N1sstug-
No Clue to Her Whereabeufs-
81. JosEPH, No., August For The pass
month the relatives and friends of Mis-
Minnie Billeter, young lady about 20 years
of age, well known and standing high In St
Joseph social circles, have been quietly a
work trying to obtain some clue as to her
Whereabouts. The matter has been kept
secret, in the hope that the young lady had
simply gone of on visit to q relative or
friends without letting any one know. From
the young lady's brother yesterday, who il
employed by Tootle, Hosea d Co, was
learned the full particulars of her disappear
ance, so far as they are known.
About the LIST of June Miss Billcter. who
boards with her brother at Ill Main street,
with family by the name of Trunk, ex-
pressed her determination of visiting friends
In East Norway, Kan. She started for Nor
way, and letters received from her show that
her visit was pleasant one. About the 18th
of July she left East Norway, stating that she
was going to attend wedding in Oregon,
Mo. She left for Oregon, coming through
this city, and since that tune nothing has
been heard from her. The girls parents are
both dead, her mother having died year
ago last February. Her brother is the only
relative living in the city, but both have q
large number of friends.
No letters came from her and parties in
terested soon began to make comments
about the way she was treating her friends.
It was simply regarded as girlish freak
and nothing strange was thought of it for q
week longer. When three weeks had elapsed
her brother began to write to relatives tho
girl would likely have visited, but no clew
could be obtained of her whereabouts. Since
that time letters have been sent all over the
country, but with the same result. ALI Of,
the young lady'ss friends are thoroughly
aroused, and grave fears are expressed that
she has been foully dealt with. If some clew
is not obtained to-day the matter will be
placed in the hands of detectives. The girl
is described as being dark compleHoned,
about five feet high and of medium build.
No reason can be assigned why she should
run away from her home, and those who
know her scout the idea. "

ALand-Locked Sea Serpent.

WOODSTOCK, New BRUNSWICK, August A.
The famous land-locked sea serpent, which
has long been said to inhabit the depths of
Skiff Lake, was seen to-day by at least
three responsible eye witnesses. According
to one of them, the serpent appeared to be
about 30 feet in length. At times he lay on
the surface, and then again he would slough
through the water at frightful rate of
speed, flashing the water into foam with
his head and tail. His course lay off Nc
Mullins Landing, toward North Cole Island,
distance of three miles, during which time
he was plainly visible to the men on the hill
overlooking the lake. They watched his
movements with the keenest curiosity until
an intervening island cut him out of their
sight.
The serpent was also seen by a respectable
farmer, James McMullen, and his wife, who
reside by the side of the lake, and who had
been making visit by water to a neighbof
at the upper end of the lake. Mr.. McMullen
rowed over it, when it lifted its head and
part of its body out of the water in mem
acing manner.
Whatever it may be, the existence of such
q reptile in Skiff lake can no longer be de-
MED.

four-legged chicken. Mrs. Shelton, living
in the west end of town, took off brood Of
among them found one with more legs than
chickens are usually credited with, the extra
pair being probably an inch and quarter
behind the forelegs, but turned the other
way (you might call it elbow to elbow,
thereby fitting it for running back and forth,
so to speak. The chick is furnished with
the usual number of wings, but of what use
are they with so many legs, and all of them
in good working order? Mrs. Shelton has
had many visitors to-day to see the Gu
riosity, which at present is lively little

House of Commons,

j LONDON, August Sin the house of COM
mons this evening, Mr.. Balfour,. chief sec
rotary for Ireland, announced that he did
not expect to be required to make any COM
munication to parliament regarding the
suppression of dangerous associations in
Ireland. This statement was received with
cheers by the Irish members.
Upon the motion of Mr.. Balfour
to recommit the land bill for the
discussion of certain amended
clauses, Mr.. Dillon urged that the govern
ment should first explain the alterations
they intended to introduce. He asked why
nothing was proposed for dealing with
arrears. The bill as it stood afforded no
protection to tenants for which the bank
ruptcy clauses had been designed, as those
clauses had been dropped. Better protec-
ton for the tenantry became necessary.
Mr.. Balfour said that the govern ment was
willing to accept any workable proposition
dealing with arrears, providing debts to
landlords be held equally assured as debts
to shopkeepers and others. The bill gave
considerable protection against arrears,
though not ignoring or effacing landlords,
debts. It was the largest measure OF relief
ever granted to any class of persons in any
country. lssHear!" sHearr'1

An Imposition on Peanut Eaters.

New YORK, August 5.-Strange as it may
seem, the chief grievance of New Workers
to-day is not the heat, nor the telegraph
wires overhead, nor even the want of
strength and size of the Coney Island beer,
the usual topics of midsummer Indignation.
"Pop" peanuts are the great topic of denun-
citation at present. New Workers pay about
$500, 600 for peanuts every year, and in the
summer especially, Coney Island, Rock
away, Glen Island, excursions, race tracks,
base ball grounds and picnics all want big
supplies.
Well, some rascal has got hold of all the
'tpop" peanuts of Virginia and has sent
them here. "Pops" is the name given to
peanuts light enough to be blown out of the
sorting mill when the crops are prepared for
market. They look sound and plump, but
they contain only useless, shriveled kernels
or air. All the consumer obtains in break
ing them is an audible "pop," hence their
name. If there is anything which the ordi-
nary frequenter to the seaside resorts and
the races, base ball matches, ETC., bankers
after it is peanuts. So when, instead of the
plump, sweet nut, he finds only ''pop," he
grows indignant and makes row.
It is estimated that of twenty eight vend-
ers of peanuts on the base ball grounds at
st. George, the other day, twenty three sold
s'pops." The "pops" sell for So bag; good
peanuts for s.. The vendors charge the
same at retail for each.
